Westin, meanwhile, couldn’t help but admire Baron’s driving. If I’d been the one driving today, I wouldn’t have been able to stop that car

“Sir, you’re as brave as ever.”

“Cut the crap; contact the helicopter and get it ready – we leave as soon as we arrive.”

Baron didn’t relax for a second; there was no way the enemy would have sent only one car to intercept Beth and her son.

His mind raced.

How could he get Beth and her son back to Ocean City safely? Natalie’s side was moving fast; it wouldn’t be long before they were ready.

Shauna gathered Natalie and they headed for the airport.

When Jensen learned Natalie was leaving, he snapped awake; he hadn’t even had time to settle things with Hansel before he got anxious.

“Why is Natalie heading back to Ocean City so fast? Has something happened in Ocean City?”

Hansel had just dodged disaster; he shook his head quickly.

“Nothing happened in Ocean City; maybe Ms. Stone’s rushing back for a launch event. I saw a lot of people on Ms. Stone’s Weibo pushing her about the new jewelry she designed.”

Hearing that only made Jensen feel worse.

It wasn’t just that Natalie’s designs no longer belonged to Luke Corp; worse, she’d designed something and hadn’t shown it to him she seemed to be pulling away, step by step, drifting

farther from him.

—

That realization left a bitter taste in Jensen’s mouth.

“We’ll go to Ocean City too. I’ll fully support Natalie’s new product launch.”

Jensen tried to stand but tugging at the wound made him cry out in pain.

Hansel didn’t hesitate; he hurried off to make arrangements.

Baron learned almost immediately that Jensen planned to join the trip to Ocean City.

A curl of a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth; it was a dark, knowing smile.

He seemed to have come up with a way to get Beth and her son to Ocean City safely. Westin felt a chill run down his spine when he saw Baron smile.

“Sir, are you scheming something again?”

Baron shot Westin a cold glance; Westin felt a shiver at the back of his neck.

He chuckled nervously but didn’t press the question. Baron pulled the car to the side and said calmly, “You keep driving toward the airport in that car; Beth will get out with your son and follow me.”

Beth didn’t know what Baron planned, but he had just saved her and her child, so she trusted

him.

Westin worried.

“Sir, can’t we keep protecting you? Why don’t I leave a few men with you?”

“You following would only expose us.”

Baron refused at once.

Although Westin felt put off, he still worried and added, “Sir, your identity is special; you should have someone by your side. Besides, a lone man and woman traveling together…”

Baron paused at that; he didn’t much care about how it looked for himself, but a misunderstanding from Natalie would be troublesome.

“All right; have one person follow us.”

No sooner had he said it than a female bodyguard stepped forward.

“Sir, I’ll go.”

Beth only then noticed there was a woman among the team she hadn’t even realized before.

Having this woman with them eased Beth a little.

Baron glanced at her. “Clara, protect those two and follow me.‘

“Understood.”

Clara didn’t know Baron’s plan, but she obeyed immediately.

Beth and her son, along with Clara, fell in behind Baron.

Baron took out his phone; after a moment, he located Jensen’s car.

“Move; follow me.”

Seeing Jensen’s car not far away, Baron hurried toward it.

This was a run for their lives.

Beth understood she had to run too; she didn’t protest at all.

Fearing they would slow down, Clara picked up the child.

Without the boy to slow her, Beth could barely keep pace with Baron.

It wasn’t long before Baron spotted Jensen’s car.

He smiled slightly and said to Clara, “You two run up and stop that car; tell them you’re Natalie’s friends and that you’ve been chased Natalie sent you to find him and bring you back to Ocean City.”

―

After speaking, Baron handed something to Clara.

Clara took it without question and ran to the car.

Beth had seen Baron’s recklessness before, but she hadn’t expected his people to be so bold.

She looked at Baron and asked, “Witch Doctor, aren’t you coming with us?”

“You go separately; the target will be too big if we move together. Don’t worry; I promised to save your son, I keep my word. As long as you arrive in Ocean City safely, I won’t go back on my promise.”
